At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Growing frustrated with the wait time for dialysis treatment, Montano resolved to leave the VA Medical Center and seek treatment at a different location. Hospital staff contacted VA police when Montano refused to remove the shunt in his arm. Police proceeded to beat Montano, causing a stroke and hospitalization. A second stroke occurred days later which resulted in his death.
This record exists so that Jonathan Montano, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
